"Fengying, what did your family say in their reply? Did anyone from your family come to your wedding?"

When Mu Xue heard that the two young people were planning to get married, she instantly became excited.

"Aunt, Luoshui City is too far from here, and my family doesn't plan to come over.

Let's keep it simple. Fuxing and I can just go to the commune and get a certificate."

Zhou Fengying also knew that the Xiao family had a special status, so in order to avoid trouble, she didn't want to do it too ostentatiously.

"That won't do. My grandparents only have this one son, and I only have this one uncle. It won't do if the ceremony is too shabby.

Auntie, are you sure you don't want to build a new house and just live here?"

Yang Baiyi confirmed one last time that if they didn't need a new house, they could hold their wedding at any time.

"I'm sure. I'm used to living in the educated youth compound. I quite like the hustle and bustle."

Some people are just strange. They are obviously very quiet people, but they long for the hustle and bustle in their hearts.

"Next month, on the ninth day of the eighth month, it will be auspicious for marriages, moving, and everything else."

Even Xiao Qingyang, who had been silent all this time, spoke up, and as soon as he spoke he made a powerful statement, directly setting the date for their wedding.

The next day, Yang Baiyi found Carpenter Chen and directly gave Xiao Fuxing thirty-six kicks, which was the highest configuration in the 1970s.

The so-called thirty-six legs are tables, chairs, benches, and various high and low cabinets, which together make up exactly thirty-six legs.

After the furniture was ready, Yang Baiyi asked a few militiamen to help move all the furniture into the west wing.

The east wing is a single room and cannot accommodate so much furniture. The west wing is a suite with a living room connected to a bedroom, which is just right for Xiao Fuxing's wedding room.

It was a weekend and the little girl didn't have to go to school. Except for Xiao Qingyang who was not suitable as a father-in-law, the whole family went out to accompany the newlyweds to buy cloth to make clothes.

Before getting married, if conditions permit, both the man and the woman must wear new clothes from head to toe.

Hu Zi was still the driver. There was no one else on the ox cart except Yang Baiyi's family. In the words of later generations, they were enjoying a distinguished chartered car service.

When I arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative in town, they happened to have the most popular fabric at the time, Dacron.

"Are you going to make wedding clothes? The Dacron that just arrived is perfect for wedding attire."

The salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative had seen countless people, and when he saw the lineup of people, young and old, he knew they were making wedding clothes.

"Comrade, please give me seven feet of this red one, seven feet of the pink one, a ready-made white shirt, and five feet of dark blue Dacron."

"Wanru, Xiaoxiao, take a look at what colors you like and come over and buy them together while you can."

Last night, Yang Baiyi gave all the money and bills to Mu Xue.

Today I am buying fabric to make clothes for my son and daughter-in-law, so I have to look good.

"Grandma, we don't need it. We have clothes to wear."

It’s not that Lin Wanru is frugal, nor is it that Lin Wanru is sensible, she has worn Dacron clothes.

It is not cold-resistant in winter and has poor air permeability in summer. When the weather gets cooler, you feel cold, and when the weather gets hot, you feel stuffy.

It is also very non-absorbent and will stick to your body once you sweat. Once it comes into contact with water, it becomes extremely transparent and it is easy to expose yourself.

Unlike the clothes Yang Baiyi always brought her, they were both skin-friendly and comfortable.

"Aunt, you are so open-minded and kind to your daughter-in-law."

"When I got married, my mother-in-law tore off three feet of cotton cloth and made me a shirt."

The salesperson looked at Zhou Fengying with envy in his eyes.

Lin Wanru didn't like Dacron because she was wearing better fabrics, and Dacron was the best fabric of that era.

Before the advent of Dacron, most fabrics used to make clothes were cotton or coarse cloth.

If you wear it for a long time, it will easily wrinkle and pill, and it will easily fade or shrink after washing.

In this day and age, after washing clothes or sheets, two people are usually needed to stretch them to prevent them from shrinking.

The characteristics of Dacron are that it is durable and easy to dry, does not require ironing, has bright colors, does not fade, and will not shrink no matter how many times it is washed.

Especially the bright printing and dyeing, which is a huge visual impact for people who are familiar with the single black, white and gray of coarse cloth or cotton cloth.

After buying the cloth, I also bought new socks and leather shoes for the two of them, and everything from head to toe was covered.

"Wanru, I think this piece of white fabric with blue flowers is very nice. How about you make a braid for me?"

She bought fabric for two sets of clothes and some new leather shoes, but Lin Wanru, who came with her, didn't buy anything. Zhou Fengying felt a little guilty about this.

"Fengying, I really don't lack clothes to wear. Baiyi always brings me clothes when he goes to the city."

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frug

In the past, when she was at home in Luoshui City, Dacron was also Lin Wanru’s favorite.

After wearing Yang Baiyi's clothes, she couldn't wear Dacron clothes for a single day.

"Brother, do we need to buy a wash basin and spittoon for my uncle and aunt? They were already there when Shuanzi's brother got married."

The little girl pointed at the enamel basin on the shelf and asked.

"You don't need to buy these. People who attend the wedding will give them to you."

Yang Baiyi knew his influence in Chenjiatun. When his uncle got married, there would definitely be many people, whether they were educated youth or members of the commune, who would come to congratulate him.

Washbasins, spittoons, and thermoses are the most common gifts.

After this wedding banquet, let alone buying these things, I guess they can even sell them.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Mu Xue originally wanted to take her daughter-in-law to a state-owned restaurant for a meal before going back, but Zhou Fengying refused.

First of all, her future father-in-law was still at home, and secondly, she didn’t think the food in the state-owned restaurant would be more sumptuous than that in Yang Baiyi’s home.

It’s not worth it to spend money on tickets but not be able to eat well, and then let my future father-in-law go hungry.

There was no other place to go in the town except for a supply and marketing cooperative and a vegetable market, so they took advantage of the cool weather and returned to Chenjiatun.

A month passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the first day of Xiao Fuxing's wedding.

Yang Baiyi took the five dogs into the mountains early in the morning, and when they came back, the five sleds were full.

Wild boars, roe deer, wild goats, hares, pheasants, and badgers, all the wild game from Wohu Mountain is collected on the sled.

"Hurry, unload the prey. Everyone, hurry up and pack it up so it won't be delayed for tomorrow's wedding banquet."

Chen Baiwang acted as the manager of the wedding banquet and directed the militiamen to collect the prey.

"Captain, I'm really sorry to bother you all. Here are the cigarettes and soda. Please help yourself and don't be shy."

Yang Baiyi has never been a stingy person. Cartons of Zhonghua cigarettes and boxes of soda are piled up in the yard.

"Doctor Yang, please don't be polite. We are not tired at all. We are more than happy to do something for you."

"Doctor Yang, the tables, chairs, benches, bowls, chopsticks and plates can all be delivered tomorrow morning. They will definitely not be delayed for the wedding banquet."
